Berlin model in a forest glade – monochrome by Silva Wischeropp

This fashion photograph was taken in the late evening of 5 June 2010 using a NIKON D90 camera (lens: NIKKOR 80–200 mm f/2.8) in the springtime woods of the Brandenburg region.

The young female model Lisa from Berlin lies on the soft forest meadow wearing a brown leather waistcoat in a vintage look. The colourful, oriental metal necklace lends the fashion motif an enchanting and extravagant atmosphere. The spring-like evening light falls softly on her subtle daytime make-up.
The fashion photograph is reminiscent of the visual aesthetics of the 1970s. The large hippie-style necklace and the original, dark brown suede waistcoat, as well as the clear centre parting in her long, straight, reddish-brown hair, lend the image a timeless yet trendy, fashionable statement.

This very natural fashion shot was taken at the edge of the forest on a meadow in the Sophienstädt woods in the Barnim region.

The shoot was a productive collaboration with a Berlin-based make-up artist and a young Berlin model and actress.

The clothing was selected from my own private archive of vintage garments, for example an original dark brown suede waistcoat and an oriental metal necklace, which is predominantly popular in the belly dancing scene.
The reduction of the colour palette to classic black and white lends the fashion motif an elegant, timeless and understated visual character, and blends perfectly with the colour schemes of all living and working spaces.
